Queer Healing and Psychedelics With Greg Wrenn
from PRIDE Hosted by Straw Hut Media
Where do psychedelic drugs and healing trauma converge for the queer community? Mind-altering plants have been used for thousands of years for spiritual and medicinal purposes. And despite the changing regulations in recent history, they’ve made a big comeback. Naturally occurring compounds like psilocybin (magic mushrooms), ayahuasca, and Ketamine, as well as synthetics like LSD and MDMA have been making headlines recently as a possible key to healing from complex trauma and treating anxiety and depression. Today, we’re sitting down with writer, professor, and now proponent of psychedelic-assisted therapy, Greg Wrenn. Greg’s book Mothership: A Memoir of Wonder and Crisis follows his journey through unpacking and healing from his own trauma through a mixture of Ayahuasca and exploring coral reefs. Greg explains how these plants– when used responsibly– can be the key to unlocking the help that people need and why we in the LGBTQ+ community should be rethinking our relationship with the planet.
